"Out long enough to be historic": Racialized Gay Space in Pre-Stonewall San Antonio
To Historicize the Gay Bar
The origins of San Antonio's two nicknames—Alamo Metropolis and Military Metropolis, USA—lie in the city's history as a contested colonial space and as home to one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the United States. Founded by Spanish explorers and missionaries on the lands of the Payaya Indians in 1718, San Antonio de Béxar was capital of the Spanish and later Mexican colonial province called Tejas. After its 1821 independence from Spain, the newly established Mexican government began offering free territory grants to Anglo-American settlers, who primarily took up residence in lands northeast of San Antonio. These Anglo settlers, who identified as Texians, and Hispanic settlers, who identified as Tejanos, fought against the Mexican Army led by President General Antonio López de Santa Anna during the Texas Revolution: the conflict from which the phrase "Remember the Alamo!" comes.
Sparked by the Battle of Gonzales on October 2, 1835, the Texas Revolution resulted from decades of rising tensions between Tejas residents and the Mexican government, ranging fro

As we've said previously, Ibiza generally is very lgbtq+ and LGBTQIA friendly, so you will feel welcome in each bar or restaurant, wherever you are on the island.
But there are also many LGBTQIA bars, mostly concentrated in and around Ibiza Town.
Calle de la Virgen is a small pedestrianised highway in the old port area and the main meeting point of the LGBTQIA scene on the island. Countless small bars, restaurants, boutiques and fixation shops line the cobbled lane lit by fairy lights, while drag queens try to lure you into their establishments and the sound of elated voices fills the wind. It's so narrow that you can't help but make contact with others. The Catalan name of Calle de la Virgen is Carrer de la Mare de Déu, discover it here in Google maps.
Another LGBTQIA hub is the nearby Calle Alfonso XIII, a side road of Calle de la Virgen(Google maps). In the shadow of the municipality wall you will discover one LGBTQIA bar next to the other. On the large terraces and roof terraces a colourful crowd shows off in their most extravagant finery.

The melody is always nice, the security is reliable, the setup is beautiful. If this place were more friendly, I’d say a conclude yes, but unfortunately it is not the case, and the local patrons and even some of the bartenders, attempt to act stuff to people or ruin their reputation, and sometimes it is simply due to a rejection on Grindr or whatever the case may be, but it is unacceptable. I experience like if you are unable to respect others, execute not work in or be in such an environment. I will tell this, too, that if you’re a bartender shoring drinks or overpricing, I will always grasp when it is happening to me, even if I say nothing in the moment. I pay attention to everything. As for the local patrons, who have made
